Sheesh! This is getting to be like a bad Twilight Zone. I keep waiting to see Rod Serling standing there, but since you can't smoke in NYC anymore he'll be holding one of those 500 ounce Slurpee sugar bombs and a godawful Subway sandwich. Actually, it's more like a Night Gallery. Okay, I'm done.

What seemed like slow erosion not too long ago is starting to feel like demolition lately. The EV was a holdout, it remained wild in a sense, for a long time but I guess the eventual settlement of it by corporate America, was inevitable.

So on this little block its gonna be 31 flavors/dunkin donuts, McDonald's, Subway? I shudder to think what is coming to the old Polonia space. Poor Coal Yard, it can't feel too good being surrounded like this.

There's another Subway right up the Ave not even 7 blocks away. NYC should start doing what they do in San Fransisco (requires all chain stores to get special approval before entering its neighborhoods).
